+Script to tar up an already installed package.
+
+Now my question is, how can we include this? I'd prefer to have it
+available from pkg_admin, but that is C, and the other is a script -
+rewrite in C?
+
+The Script has still a problem, as the MTREE file is removed after
+a pkg_add/make install. As leaving the MTREE file will lead to a
+~10% increase in space needed for /var/db/pkg which I'm not sure
+we should do, esp. as the files are almost always the same again.
+(On my notebook with ~250 installed pkgs, the size increasement
+would be from 8.8MB to 10MB).
